Thornburg will discuss some of the unprecedented challenges facing the American economy. He will address how some of the changes currently underway in Washington will forever change how the economy functions and operates in the future.
What role will the government play in the mortgage market? Are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac dead? What role will it play in regulating financial institutions? Will this include hedge funds and other non-regulated entities? Will the government increase its oversight of the rating agencies? Will the government use the SEC or some new regulator to have more control over accounting standards? How else will the government change the financial life of America?

Thornburg Investment Management was established in 1982; Thornburg Securities Corp. in 1984 and Thornburg Mortgage in 1993.
